THE 100 FOR 2013

Taking over from Don Balon, The IBWM 100 for 2013 is our inventory of the most thrilling young players in football today. Born on or after 1/1/1991, everyone included has really pressed our buttons and things are happening for them in the first eleven of major clubs throughout the world.

The last year has been good to them, but - in our eyes at least - the next twelve months are going to be even better. These are the kids on the steepest trajectory anywhere right now, the rapid risers who have found a groove and are on course to become THE big players at international level for years to come, whoever they represent.
